Abstract

Alloy 6061 has an excellent corrosion resistance property. The main advantage of the Aluminium alloy is lightweight. The alloy may be high in strength and suitable for heat treatment. This article discusses the comparison between two different materials namely As-received Al6061 and AlSi10Mg of the component produced by Selective Laser Melting process (SLM). Selective Laser Melting is one of the techniques of Additive Manufacturing or 3D printing. In recent years, Additive manufacturing is increasingly used in several industries including healthcare, automotive, aerospace and defence.
